What's the correct way to output an element to the res

Hi,

I was looking through this mailing-list trying to find an answer. However I 
found a question (posted in 2001) which addressed my problem but no answer. 
Therefore I am quoting the original question hoping somebody has the answer.

What's the correct way to output an element to the result tree from within
the code of an extension element (or function)?

As a dummy example, let's say I want to write a Javascript extension element
(using the Xalan-Java processor) to output a <p> tag, then process
the child elements of the context node, then output a </p> tag.  The code
I've got at the moment is

<?xml version="1.0"?> 
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
                xmlns:lxslt="http://xml.apache.org/xslt";
                xmlns:my="MyNamespace"
                extension-element-prefixes="my"
                version="1.0">
                
  <lxslt:component prefix="my" elements="para">
  <lxslt:script lang="javascript">
    <![CDATA[

      function para(xslContext,thisElement) {
        xslContext.outputToResultTree(xslContext.getStylesheet(),"<p>");
        
        xslTrans = xslContext.getTransformer();
        xslTrans.executeChildTemplates(thisElement,
           xslContext.getContextNode(),
           xslContext.getMode(),
           true
        );
        
        xslContext.outputToResultTree(xslContext.getStylesheet(),"</p>");
        
        return null;
      }
    ]]>
  </lxslt:script>
  </lxslt:component>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <my:para>
      This is a paragraph.
    </my:para>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Of course, this isn't right.  I don't want to output the text strings '<p>'
and '</p>'; I want to output an element node <p>.
